How Do We Know What Time It Is. It is already 7:06 p.m. How do we know the time. We can find 100 ways to save time, but the amount remaining nonetheless diminishes steadily. However, we can’t see it and we can’t touch it. A brief history of timekeeping reveals the need for leap day, leap seconds, and the neverending challenge of synchronizing. The whole of human existence is bound to the passage of time. In english we think of it in linear terms, from left to right, but chinese speakers think of time in terms of over and under, and in greek time can be large, small. “in physics, we have what we call the idea of ‘absolute time’ and it’s used to describe different changes as a sequence of events,” koyama begins. While some languages refer to time as a distance travelled, others refer to it as a growing volume—a long day, a full day. The question is more complex than it first appears, says richard fisher. So, how do we know that it’s really there? Time is all around us and is the basis. Here’s how the world decides what time it is. Time works by measuring periods between the past, present and future. Instead, we measure time intervals — the durations separating two.

Time is all around us and is the basis. But that's a simple, albeit vague answer to an incredibly complex topic.

How Do We Know What Time It Is Here’s how the world decides what time it is. What time is it, anyway? It is already 7:06 p.m. So, how do we know that it’s really there? We cannot see it, hear it, taste it, touch it or smell it. The whole of human existence is bound to the passage of time. A brief history of timekeeping reveals the need for leap day, leap seconds, and the neverending challenge of synchronizing. We can find 100 ways to save time, but the amount remaining nonetheless diminishes steadily. “in physics, we have what we call the idea of ‘absolute time’ and it’s used to describe different changes as a sequence of events,” koyama begins.

While some languages refer to time as a distance travelled, others refer to it as a growing volume—a long day, a full day.
